Milton's pamphlet Areopagitica called for free political discussion. No one person has access to truth. (Leaders who say they own truth are usually tyrants and should not be trusted.) Listening to each other in the free commonwealth of ideas may lead to better understanding and more effective action.

Craig Murray's New Webhost Hacked

At 10.00pm UT on Sunday 30th September the following messageappears on the Atlantic Free Press Website:"atlanticfreepress.com has been hacked. We are currently restoring from backup files and database on backup server.Thank you for your patience.Richard."

Richard and his team host, among others, Atlantic Free Press, Pacific Free Press, and Chris Floyd.com. Chris Floyd.com is also down.This Server is run from Holland and was recently reported to have agreed to host Craig Murray.

It is not action by Usmanov's legal team at Schillers which has created this problem. It is action by others. Mind you, it is not only Usmanov (with his power in Russia and Uzbekistani) who has an interest in silencing such determined and courageous sources of report, analysis and comment.
